Please we need advice

We are both in Egypt, ready to send the file but our problem is to understand how to make the payment. Can we send a Drafted Cheque or International Money Order with the file??? If yes do we fill form IMM 5401 ourselves?

The IMM5401 has to be ordered, it is not available online. I doubt they will mail it internationally, either.

You either need to pay the fees online via a credit card, or have someone in Canada get the form, pay it on your behalf at a financial institution and then send the validated receipt form to you.

To consolidate discussions, let me share my response on another thread of the OP's to this question:

Thank you for clarifying - Egypt's the key. There's a few exceptions (Iran's another one, for example). Your instructions are at http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/egypt-egypte/visas/fees-frais.aspx?view=d.

I would print a copy of the instructions page and attach them to your application to avoid confusion while your application is processed (given that it's a country-specific exception)
